MAY 16, 1990: Frank lost a close friend when Sammy Davis Jr. died of throat cancer at the age of 64. Although he canceled the remaining four nights of his sold-out Radio City Music Hall concerts, while he was performing on stage he kept his emotions to himself as his friend lay dying in Los Angeles.

The jokes started when I was in the hospital and they continue today: An eye chart with an inscription: “To Smokey. Practice. Practice.” (He calls me Smokey because I smoke so much.) A gift: half a pair of binoculars, with the other half sawed off for Jilly Rizzo, whose bad eye is on the opposite side.
